In very rare instances. Not on anything mass produced that I am aware of.

Indeed.

As far as I'm aware, it's just one-offs for some super duper VVVIPs and for Only Watch.

Market is not soft for this watch. You could still resell for at least what you bought for

I have a friend who had just received this watch from a HK AD few days ago. He waited for 1 year plus with 1 to 2 Patek purchases over the years.

Yes. There is a Ti Sky Moon, Repeater, Celestial and maybe other grand comps. Special customer.

Op- your watch looks great. Ignore the market and buy what you love. I personally love the larger size and if I didn’t already have a couple of blue Pateks,I’d buy this in a heart beat. I have the 5968 and have the hand Grenade on order. Probably arriving sometime
Next year.

The larger size does not bother me in fact is my preference. Most Pateks are too small for me and I prefer the 42 mm size and I hope they make more 42 mm variants.

Wear it in good health.

100% agree and love the size of my 5168g. Tried the nautilus many times and even my wife said it wears way too small. Think the 5990 might be the only one that fits but wont purchase without seeing it first and not paying current mark up.

You should change your username to Mr. Aquanaut instead of Mr. Nautilus.....

I think the 5168G is a great looking watch and it is still a hard watch to get from an AD. Enjoy the watch while you own it. If you get tired of it, move on to something else. But you shouldn't enjoy a watch any less because it is not part of the "SS watch bubble".

Nice!! I have 5968 and green on order. Wasn’t planning on getting blue but now that I see yours, I might have to reconsider. Lol.

Great collection.

Men who like larger watches unite!
